10's or 12's

I have the opportunity to get a pair of 2 12" Rockford Fosgate HE2 RFP4212's at the same price as a pair of 2 10" Rockford Fosgate HE2 RFP4210's. I was wondering what opinions people have regarding 12's or 10's, and the relative pro's and con's.

I am saying of the same sub, the bigger size will go lower, and louder of course.

I'm gonna have to say that a bigger sub isn't necissarily louder. I had a 12w7 in an High output box in my Civic hb, then I switched it with a 10w7 in an H.O.
box and it was noticably louder and sounded a lot better. Now i have 2 10w7's and it's louder and sounds a lot better than another guy's stereo that I work with who has 3 Power Rockford 12". Personally I prefer a nice 10" over a 12" anyday.

There is no reason why a 10w7 would be louder than a 12w7 though. Did you go from a sealed box to a ported box as well?
